I came across Linux Lite with the 3.8 announcement, installed it and never went back. So, thank you for an awesome distro.

A bit about me. I am a linux geek from Amsterdam and started to use linux when Ubuntu first came into life, did some time in Arch, manjaro, fedora and other ones.

Linux Lite worked fine until I connected a card reader, then in the "Disks" section, empty disks appear that I can not access, I disconnected the card reader, restart Linux Lite and the empty disks are no longer there, then I connect a memory usb that Linux does not mount, I try to access but it shows an error, the system worked fine until I connected the card reader.
Now when passing a file to the USB memory, it starts translating to 5MB / s, and it starts to slow down, until it reaches 920Kbps / s and the computer gets slow and the system does not respond, after "finishing" the transfer, accessing the files on the USB is very slow
I'm not sure if it is a bug or the reader does not work (in Windows XP it worked fine)
Finally I do not know if I should do another clean installation of Linux Lite or have some solution (I do not have a backup of the system)

Disk won't boot to Desktop. Reason? Full disk
Decrypt disk in Mac, remove HDD and mount in LL via USB, free up space, place HDD back in Macbook, boot to Desktop, drink beer.

I am in the process of converting a friend from Windows 10 to Linux Lite.  The one and only question I have is.... will Lite support Canon Pixma MX310 All in One Printer?


Would be nice for me to know this in advance.


Thanks and Happy New Year!

Just installed 3.6 but update wont work.

Happy New Year Everyone:
What better way to ring in 2018 than to scramble and fix a ten-year-old security flaw in the processor.
There is a kernel memory leak in Intel processors design that now put Windows and Linux users in harms ways as programmers rush to apply patches as quickly as possible.

https://www.onmsft.com/news/intels-kerne...wing-patch

But wait!
As for Linux users, there are patches for the Linux kernel available now.

Hi again, I'm back with more questions!

I am now converting a Dell Inspiron 1300 to LL 3.4 and overall going well.  Interestingly this Inspiron connected fine with the ethernet cable, updated fine, AND I checked for drivers (no Wifi ones came up) AND the Wifi is still not working.

A previous post of mine with a Dell Inspiron 1545 which had the same issue was resolved when a driver was identified via the "Update Drivers", however no drivers showed up for Wifi.

I have checked BIOS and the Wifi is enabled and I also pressed "Fn/F2" but still no Wifi comes on.

What does work is the Wifi USB stick so I have it in (just because it is less cumbersome that the ethernet cable) and ran ifconfig although I was not sure if maybe the ifconfig pertains only to ethernet issues..?

IF the information is useful here it is copy and pasted:

administrator@administrator-ME051:~$ ifconfig

administrator@administrator-ME051:~$

So my question is:  Does this info suggest what is wrong? AND might there be a reasonable fix?

I'm wondering if maybe the MiniPCI Device is shot"?  If need be I can suggest to the person using this computer to simply work with the Wifi USB.

Thanks

I wanted to use i3 but it kept refusing, so what I did is I removed everything about XFCE so that LinuxLite has no choice but to choose i3. When I rebooted I see the original Linux Lite wallpaper and I entered my login and pass and then I see the Debian logo and the Fedora Desktop style Window Manager. I'm stuck...

EDIT: I did "i3 --replace &" it didn't worked, didn't worked either and it was just saying I was already running a window manager.

EDIT 2: I choose gdm and now everything is working perfectly, but I prefer lightdm for the look of the login screen. Oh well.

Hi there,
I am absolutely new to linux and have been using it for 2 days now. I would like to know how to install a .rpm file. I am trying to install Oracle 11g Express Edition.
